Evaluating function handles without writting inputs

4 views (last 30 days)
Hi. I want to write a code that call some function handles from another code. after loading them,I want to evaluate them (means that substitute the amount of inputs in function handles) accoeding to inputs introduced at the first lines of code.
because the number of function handles is large, I prefer to call and evaluate them only with the name of functions not by name and inputs, although the inputs have introduced before (all functions have inputs). a simple example is:
x=5;y=10;
f=@(x,y) x.^2+y.^2;
now evaluate f only with calling name not inputs. for example
eval(f)
Does anyone have any suggestions for this؟

Why don't you store your data in a structure, that can be passed around?
data.x = 3;
data.y = 2;
f = @(data) data.x^2 + data.y^2;
f(data)
ans = 13

The only way I can think of would be by wrapping the anonymous functions.
x=5;y=10;
f=@(x,y) x.^2+y.^2;
f=@() f(x,y);
phi = 1.5*pi;
g=@(phi) sin(phi)/(2*cos(phi));
g=@() g(phi);
feval(f)
ans = 125
feval(g)
ans = 2.7219e+15
If the idea is to cache the inputs, you should use normal functions with persistent variables:
x=5;y=10;
f_(x,y)
f_
ans = 125
function z=f_(x,y)
persistent p
if nargin>0
p.x = x;
p.y = y;
return
else
if isempty(p)
error('initialise function first')
end
x = p.x;
y = p.y;
end
z = x.^2+y.^2;
end
